Ostensible purpose
Of raising money

The lottery was supposed
To pay off $ , .

In m*rder, thievery...

Narrator:
"The life and legend of wyatt
Earp" starring hugh o'brian.
Three murders
In less than five hours.
A cowhand, a miner
And a store clerk--
Why?
- g*n smugglers maybe.
- Aw, that doesn't make sense.
These were poor men,
They had to work hard
For their living.
- Maybe they gambled.
- With what?
Well, did you ever see
Any of these?
Arizona lottery, deacon.
Of course I've seen them.
Why would they be k*lled
For lottery tickets?
They haven't even had
The drawing yet.
How do you know?
Maybe that prescott crowd
Is a little slow in telling
The newspapers the results.
The prescott g*ng
Wouldn't get involved
In m*rder.
No, it would have to be
The % ring in tucson.
You think
They've taken over?
Wyatt, that shiloh smith
Would try anything.
Well, the papers
Have done said that
Governor fremont hisself
Is handling the drawing.
No, he wouldn't get involved
In something like that.
Granted.
But five will get you
That those tucson boys
Must have a man installed
Somewhere and were tipped off
As to the winning numbers--
And whoever bought
Those tickets.
Let's go check the men
That were k*lled.
See if we can find out
Whether they bought tickets.
( Piano playing upbeat tune )
Big eight loser.
Hello, mr. Milligan.
Excuse me, boys.
Johnny, I've got a deal
I want to talk to you about.
- In the back room.
- Johnny don't want a deal.
What clara means,
Mr. Milligan, is that
I'm kinda busy
Right now.
- This won't take two minutes.
- All right.
Take over for me.
Johnny, wait.
Johnny, take this.
- What's that for?
- You may need it, honey.
Honey, I know
Mr. Milligan.
Johnny, please take it.
All right,
All right.
- Now are you satisfied?
- Honey, be careful.
All right.
Yes sir, mr. Milligan?
Now, johnny,
I'm not gonna b*at
Around the bush.
Want to sell
Your lottery ticket?
My lottery ticket?
Well, you've got one,
Ain't you?
- I might have.
- Well, I'm buying up tickets.
Now I know you're
A bad-luck boy.
- That's why they call you
Johnny-behind-the-deuce.
- That's right.
Still and all, I reckon
I could give you twice
What you paid for it.
Well now,
That's a nice sum,
Mr. Milligan,
But I promised clara
I wouldn't sell it.
She's working
On a hunch.
What do you want
For it?
I told you, mr. Milligan,
I can't sell it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too!
I've got to have it.
- Hold on there, why pick on me?
- Come on, hand it over!
- I told you I can't.
- Why you--
I'll get a good lawyer
For you, honey.
Just a minute,
Miss clara.
You're in love with johnny,
Aren't you?
I want to marry him.
Why?
Because johnny's in a lot
More trouble than he realizes.
He's still in danger.
Did you know that milligan
Is part of the % ring?
Yes, johnny met him
In tucson.
Milligan was working
For shiloh smith.
Kind of a big
Political jay.
Yes, I know mr. Smith.
You have any idea why he would
Want to have johnny k*lled?
No.
We bought a lottery ticket.
Milligan tried to force
Johnny to sell it to him.
And when johnny wouldn't,
He drew his g*n.
Johnny k*lled him
In self-defense
And that's
The truth, mr. Earp.
- I believe you.
- Why, I didn't think you would.
Well, I do.
Now where do you
Have the ticket?
You'd have to search me
To find it.
Well, um, I don't think
I'll try that.
Look, uh,
Three men were k*lled
Because of their
Lottery ticket.
Now I suggest you hide yours
In a safer place.
I'll hide it real good.
One more thing...
Don't try to get
Johnny out of here.
- But I promised him.
- Believe me,
He wouldn't stay alive long
If he was out.
You're right, mr. Earp,
He would be safer in jail.
All right, I'm gonna
Have to leave town
For a few days.
If anybody asks you,
You just tell them that
Johnny's being held here
For milligan's sh**ting.
- That's all you know about it.
- I'm a clam.
Thanks, mr. Earp.
Thanks very much.
We ought to be in tucson
About sundown.
Think shiloh smith's still
Got that list of winners
In his office?
I don't think he'd
Keep it any other place.
I'm glad he doesn't
Know you.
But you'd better leave
That badge off and don't
Take your shotgun in.
I vote that we put
The pistols on shiloh
And force him
To show us the list.
Well, I don't want him
To see me.
If he does see me,
Why, he'll know I'm
Onto his scheme
And he'll try
To cover up everything.
I wish you'd
Let me handle them
My own way.
- Let's go.
- Tsk.
- ( Knocks )
- Yes?
Well, what is it now?
There's a big hayseed
Out there, says he has
To talk to you.
- Says it's important.
- All right, I'll see him.
But don't let
Anyone else in.
Close up and go on home.
Yes sir.
Mr. Smith will see you now,
But only for a few minutes.
- Come in.
- I thank you kindly.
Well well, my friend,
Now what
Can I do for you?
Well, sir, I been cheated
In that there lottery.
- You've been cheated?
- Yes sir.
- I'm astonished.
- Five tickets I've boughten.
And all of them
Sure winners too.
Now why ain't I been paid?
Now that's simple, mr.--
- Mister...?
- Jones.
Ezra t. Jones.
You see, mr. Jones,
The official drawing
Hasn't even been held yet.
Well, that ain't
The way I heard it.
They tell me the winners
Was drawed
Over at prescott
Several days ago.
- Who told you that?
- Well, the same fella
That told me I had them
Winning tickets.
- He's seen the list.
- That's news to me.
You're the high monkey muck
Around tucson, ain't you?
Looks to me like you
Oughta be able to get
Ahold of that list.
If there is one,
I might be able to.
But the winning numbers'll be
Announced in the newspapers
And there's no reason
Why you can't wait--
Watch the doors.
I'm gonna search him first.
There it is.
I'm gonna copy down
These names.
Take the list
And let's get out of here.
No, I don't want him to know
That whoever slugged him
Found this paper.
I told you he'd
Have it with him.
I don't know about you two,
But me and roscoe
Are high-tailing it out of here
Before that fella wakes up.
- ( Clamoring )
- What's the list there?
- It's the list of numbers
From the big lottery.
- Oh yeah?
- , ...
- Aw, get out.
- Woman: hey!
- ...
( Knocks )
- Mr. Hennings?
- Yes?
My name's
Marshal earp.
You're the assistant manager
Of the lottery, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
- Come in, marshal.
- Thank you.
What can I do for you?
Well, sir, you can tell me
When you're gonna pay off
The local winners.
Well, as soon as the money
Reaches the tombstone bank--
Tomorrow.
I'm glad to hear that.
Can you give me a list
Of the names of the winners?
Well, the only list of names
Is of the original purchasers
And it's in prescott.
But I don't need it.
You see, we don't pay by names.
We have to pay
By winning numbers.
Oh.
How's that?
Well, lots of folks sell
And resell their tickets,
Marshal.
It's a rule of the lottery
To pay by number.
I see.
Well, I'll be at the bank
Tomorrow when you pay off.
- Glad to have you.
- Thank you.
- Clara: mr. Earp!
- ( Running footsteps )
- Mr. Earp?
- Howdy, miss clara.
Johnny's ticket just won.
I just saw the number
At the newspaper.
- Congratulations
To both of you.
- Oh, isn't it wonderful?
Just imagine-- $ , !
We can do anything
We ever wanted to.
Say, have you got
That ticket safely hidden?
Oh yes,
I have it in my room.
- Do you know mr. Ross
At the bank?
- Uh-huh.
You take that ticket
And put it in an envelope,
Go over to mr. Ross and tell him
That I said he should put it
In the vault for you.
Oh, all right.
Oh, mr. Earp,
Don't forget to tell
Johnny the reason I can't
Get him out of jail.
After he hears about all that
Money, I don't think he'll mind
Staying in jail a mite longer.
- ( Laughs ) no.
- You go on and get that ticket.
- ( Rattles )
- ( Screams )
Give me that ticket.
Give me
That ticket!
Give me that ticket.
Give me the ticket.
( Moans )
- ( Whistling )
- ( Knocks )
- Who is it?
- Clara: it's a friend
Of yours, mr. Smith.
Just a minute, honey.
Back up. Back up.
I don't know you.
What's the meaning of this?
I want that lottery ticket that
Your man stole from my room.
I don't know what
You're talking about.
You hand it over.
- Now gimme that pop g*n.
- You give me that ticket.
I'll give you nothing.
Oh!
He took johnny's ticket
And he--
- He wouldn't
Give it back to me.
- See how bad he's hit.
Why didn't you come
To me first?
There wasn't time.
I thought he might have
Hid it or passed it on
To someone else.
Well, he's gonna live...
I'm sorry to say.
He just got hit in the shoulder.
You take him on over
To the hospital.
Tell dr. Goodfellow
To keep this quiet.
I don't want those
Other thieves scared off.
You come with me.
Oh.
( Moaning )
Okay, come on, shiloh.
You ain't hit in the legs.
- ( Clamoring )
- Wyatt: all right,
Break it up.
Go on, break it up!
There's nothing
To look at.
You all got
Homes to go to,
Go to them!
( Men muttering )
Look, I want you
To stay alive, so I'm going
To put you in jail.
Any of your friends
Try to bail you out,
You refuse.
I want you to ask
For protective custody,
You understand?
Yes sir, I'll do
Whatever you say.
Will I go to prison
For sh**ting him?
That depends
On judge spicer.
Johnny'll plead
Self-defense in
sh**ting milligan.
I think
He'll be cleared.
But your only defense
Is to tell everything
About shiloh smith
And about the theft
Of that ticket.
- I intend to, mr. Earp.
- Good.
ó ( crowd chattering )
- I guess we're ready.
You can open up the doors.
But remember, marshal,
I'm not responsible
For what you do.
I'll take full
Responsibility.
- Man: open up in there!
- Come on, open the doors.
Well, it's about time
You opened the door.
Morning, gibbs.
- , $ .
Man:
You did all right too.
Aw, here's a winner.
- Look at that!
- - .
Real easy money.
Thanks.
- $ .
- Give it to me.
I thank you.
Marshal earp,
I'll buy you
A five-gallon can of milk.
- Thank you, ethan.
- You're welcome.
Hello, doc.
- .
$ , .
- ,
$ , .
You men
Are under arrest.
Hold it.
Hey!
Get over there.
I ain't dying
For shiloh smith.
You'd better say that
In court.
Those tickets don't
Belong to you or mr. Smith.
They belong to two m*rder*d men.
Now go on.
Let's go.
I wish this trial
Was over.
I wish I'd never bought
That lottery ticket.
Honey, how can you
Say that?
$ , ?
That'll take us
Anywhere we want to go.
Clara, you talk like
All we gotta do is bow
To that judge then walk
Out of the courtroom.
And then catch a boat
For paris or someplace.
Honey, what are you
Worried about?
Marshal earp said that--
That you'd get off.
And shiloh smith can't deny
That he had that ticket
Stolen from my room
Soon as I tell the judge
Just how it happened.
Yeah, honey, yeah,
The court will turn us loose.
- Well?
- But then the % ring
Will k*ll us.
You just don't
Understand, honey.
You just
Don't understand,
That's all.
This lottery is big.
It's bigger than you know.
The whole territory's
Mixed up in it.
Men are k*lled
For their tickets, honey,
Before they're drawn.
Shiloh knew my ticket
Would win.
- But, johnny--
- And if you say anything
About anything in court,
You and I are
As good as buried.
But, johnny,
I'll go to jail.
Well, look,
Maybe not, honey.
Maybe not.
He-- he didn't die,
You know.
All right, johnny,
I'll do whatever you say.
Oh, it just ain't fair!
It ain't fair, that's all!
The first chance we get
And it turns into worse
Than what we had before.
Johnny, don't.
I love you no matter
What happens.
Well, I love you too, clara.
More than you know.
That's why you've gotta do
Just exactly like
I told you.
- All right?
- All right, johnny.
Johnny, time
For your trial, son.
Good luck, honey.
And, miss clara,
Marshal earp wants
To see you
Before your trial starts,
So if you please,
Will you just
Wait out here?
Sit down, won't you?
I talked
To judge spicer.
- I'd like to go
Over your testimony.
- I haven't got any testimony.
- You told me
Yesterday that you--
- That was yesterday.
Somebody thr*aten you?
Look, miss clara, I have
No proof without you.
I need your testimony.
And I need to stay alive.
I've thought about that.
I'll bet you have.
You win your case
And johnny and I'll go free,
Only where
Are we gonna go?
We couldn't stay
In tombstone,
And we'd never
Get out alive.
I think you stand
A good chance for acquittal
When my charges against
Shiloh smith are made.
Johnny's being
Set free right now.
And there is a way
To leave tombstone.
They'll be watching the--
The stage lines
And the roads.
How--
- ( Sighs )
- I promise to get you out
Of town safely, miss clara.
The rest is up to you.
What's up to me?
Whether you testify
Against smith.
Now I don't want to lose
This case, but I can
Afford to lose it.
I don't think you can
Afford to let me.
It's time
You were in court.
I want this handled
In my way, you understand?
If the court please,
Your honor?
- Proceed.
- I represent mr. Smith,
The complaining witness.
He does not wish
To press charges
Against miss nelson.
- ( Bangs )
- Spicer: I see.
Marshal earp?
Yes sir.
Mr. Smith has dismissed
His charges.
Now are there any
Other witnesses
To miss nelson's alleged
as*ault with a deadly w*apon?
No sir.
Very well.
This court rules
For dismissal.
- Wyatt: your honor?
- Yes?
Even though the complaining
Witness against miss nelson
Does not wish
To press charges,
She's my principal witness
And has knowledge of facts.
Therefore I ask the court
To hear her testimony.
Miss nelson, you will
Take the stand, please.
Order!
Continue please.
When I asked him to give me
Back johnny's ticket,
He wouldn't do it.
I saw the man that hit me
Hand it to mr. Smith.
So I knew he had it,
But then he
Started to rush me
And I was afraid if he
Got the g*n, he'd k*ll me.
So I sh*t him first.
I see.
What gave you this great
Fear of mr. Smith?
A man named milligan
Who used to work
For mr. Smith at tucson.
He tried to rob johnny
Of the same ticket
And that's when johnny sh*t him
In self-defense.
Well, it would appear
That mr. Smith
Is guilty of suborning
Two felonies at least.
The court rules that mr. Smith
Be held without bond.
- ( Crowd murmuring )
- You can't hang anything on me!
That will do, sir!
- Marshal?
- Sit down.
Miss nelson, the court must
Hold you as a material
Witness against smith.
You mean I don't have
To go to prison?
Well, a citizen
Who tells the truth
When she doesn't have to
Deserves the court's
Consideration.
This court is adjourned.
Thank you, miss clara,
For all your help
And for having faith
That I'd think of a way
Of getting you
Out of town safely.
Shiloh smith would have never
Been convicted otherwise.
She was a lot smarter
Than me, marshal.
I-- I was dead sure
They'd k*ll us.
Well, they didn't.
We'll be free now.
Thanks, marshal.
I guess sometimes people
Just have to trust each other.
Sometimes they do.
Come on.
Watch your head.
Now don't make a sound
Until you get outside of town.
The hearse won't talk
If you don't.
- Johnny: all right, thanks.
- Thank you, marshal.
Walk 'em slow until
You're way outside town.
